Over 900 political prisoners are held in Belarus. This World Human Rights Day, I'm posting Christmas cards to ten selected at random. Here are there stories. Here is why they cannot be forgotten.

In case anyone is interested, the ten political prisoners were selected by generating numbers on random.org. The original ten numbers produced nine men and only one woman. There were no photos for two of the men, so I chose the women closest to them on the list (except one who is under house arrest and for whom no address is provided). This means the list is not 100% random, but it is pretty close. I deliberately choose to add two more women to get a better gender balance - just a personal preference.
